Michele E. Buttelman: Happy Halloween to the Santa Clarita Valley

SCV Scene

I’ve always adored Halloween. What fun to dress up and pretend to be someone else. In addition, there’s candy. Kudos to the 51

Congrats to the Santa Clarita Valley Business Journal’s 51 most influential people! A party for the 51 was held on Thursday evening at Robinson Ranch Golf Club. The food was spectacular, the entertainment fabulous and the event earned high marks from all attendees. What fun.A Royal Fashion Show

It was delightful to see all the ladies (and the few gentlemen) who attended the Royal Fashion Show at the Sheraton Universal Hotel on Oct. 23. What a fabulous event! The 27th annual fashion show, chaired by Shelley Hann, was amazing.

We missed the fashions by Margo, but were thrilled with the quality of the event. Kudos to the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital Guild.Festival of Trees in the SCV
